Darn!. I have had that book sitting a whole foot away from me for about 6 months now and all I can manage to do is read it 5 minutes at a time. If I could break the spine and sit it on my book holder I would read it in a week, but I borrowed and I doubt my bro would appreciate me mangling it.

Marijuana botany, hashish,and sinsemilla were the books i read in the 70's.

The Cannabible 1 has some interesting history in its beginning pages.
Nothing surpasses Cannabis Evolution and Ethnobotany.Hashish by RCC is an excellent read as is Marijuana Botany.The POT BOOK (several authors) is an excellent expose of cannabis medical history.The Emporer Wears No Clothes is my all time favorite. 11th edition being one of the best because of the inclusion of resource materials (second half of the book).
Then there are the various publications put out by a few breeders. They're not exactly history but they can be use as a resource for placing things in their historical place.

I would add on to those any of Chris Bennett cannabis related books, but the last by Merlin/Clarke (that you mention also) really changed my life lol
